- Client Ed/Diets Tab - The client education handouts in the Nutrition Care Manual (NCM) are not intended to substitute for nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian nutritionist. The information is meant to serve as a general guideline and may not meet the unique nutritional needs of individual patients. All medical professionals should consult with a registered dietitian nutritionist before providing handouts to clients or patients. Each nutrition therapy handout includes:
- A rationale for prescribing the diet
- A sample 1-day menu linked to the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference
- Customizable sample 1-day menu
Calculators - Select a calculator in the navigation on the left side of the page. The calculators are useful when performing a nutrition assessment or planning nutrition intervention.
Formulary - The Nutrition Care Manual (NCM) Formulary contains the nutritional information about various types of oral and tube feeding nutritional solutions. This type of information is usually available in printed manufacturer's product guides and on package food labels. The NCM Formulary includes the ingredient list and nutrient data for one serving size as provided by the manufacturers as of April 2010. Please refer to product labels and manufacturer websites for the most current ingredient and nutrient profiles.
